|description="Weekend working" measures the premium for weekend working set by law or by collective agreements which are generally applicable. The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to the nonexistence of a premium and "1" to a premium that is double time or a strict control or prohibition of weekend work. Values in between describe, for example:
 +
* 0.5 = time and half. <br>

This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labour laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The existing CBR-LRI data points were supplemented with data points prior to 1970 or corresponding points in time for socialist countries (see coding rules). In addition, data points for a further 36 countries were added (see coding rules).
 +
The CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The supplemented data points were coded using statutory law, only. The combined data points result in the World of Labour Dataset (WoL) (for first version V1, 1970-2013 see Dingeldey et al. 2022).
 +
|codingrules=The score is normalised on a 0-1 scale, with a normal premium is double time equivalent to a score of 1 (see Adams et al. 2023, Dingeldey et al. 2022). Statutory law is coded for the year in which it comes into force. Until the law was altered, the coding values were carried over for the ensuing years. As a result, the values between the years when the statutory legislation is in effect are an “estimate” of the legal standards/norms based on former law. A zero value indicates that there is no premium (see Adams et al. 2023, Dingeldey et al. 2022 for further information). A missing value (-999) means the law has not been coded for this country year for multiple reasons or in case of supplemented data points there is ‘no information available’.
 +
The coding template (algorithm) with the definition of the variable and instructions for the coding process is described in Adams et al. (2017, 2023) and Dingeldey et al. (2022, Online Supplement). As Adams et al. (2023) describe, the value of the variable "Weekend working" "Measures the normal premium for weekend working set by law or by collective agreements which are generally applicable. The same score is given for laws and for collective agreements which are de facto binding on most of the workforce (as in the case of systems which have extension legislation for collective agreements). The score equals 1 if the normal premium is double time, 0.5 if it is time and half, and 0 is there is no premium. Also score 1 if weekend working is strictly controlled or prohibited." (2023:17).<br>
 +
Dingeldey et al. (2022) describe the value of the variable "Weekend working" as the "Normal premium for weekend working set by law or by collec-tive agreements which are generally applicable; same score for laws and for collective agreements which are de facto binding on most of the workforce (as in the case of systems with exten-sion legislation for collective agreements); 1= premium is double time/weekend working is strictly controlled or prohibit-ed; 0.5= premium is time and half; 0= there is no premium" (2022, Online Supplement,https://academic.oup.com/iljarticle/51/3/560/6325574#supplementary-data).<br>
  
|description =
+
Assessment of the scale level in Dingeldey et al. (2022) and Adams et al. (2017, 2023) and the description of the values in the template differ. As Adams et al. (2023) state “Some indicators use binary coding but most use non-binary or graduated scores. The template indicates the approach to scoring in each case. Some indicators are expressed as cardinal variables (for example, those relating to minimum qualifying periods of continuous employment) but most are expressed on an ordinal scale.” (p. 7) and Dingeldey et al. (2022) state “The nature of each indicator’s scale depended on the number of possible states that we could envisage for that variable; in the end, all indicators that we developed had either binary (true and false) or graduated scales, some of which, drawing on the CBR, were ordinal in nature, and some cardinal (in the case, for example, of certain working time standards).” (p. 582).<br>
This CBR-LRI indicator measures the normal premium for weekend working set by law or by collective agreements which are generally applicable. The same score is given for laws and for collective agreements which are de facto binding on most of the workforce (as in the case of systems which have extension legislation for collective agreements).
+
The scale level for WESIS was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI and supplemented data points in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained because all variables are coded on a 0-1 scale, with 1- and/or 2-digit decimal. Users should use the WESIS scale level with caution and consult the coding template (algorithm) and values.
 
 
 
 
|codingrules = The CBR-LRI is a leximetric dataset on employment protection. It quantifies the strength of protection expressed in labour law and functional equivalents such as administrative regulation and collective agreements (see Adams et al. 2017). The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to the nonexistence of a premium and "1" to a premium that is double time or a strict control or prohibition of weekend work. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).

There is a break in time series within countries (in most cases 1880 to 1969 and 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries) and limited comparability between countries [see 2] due to coverage of legal text during coding:

"Weekend working" measures the premium for weekend working set by law or by collective agreements which are generally applicable. The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to the nonexistence of a premium and "1" to a premium that is double time or a strict control or prohibition of weekend work. Values in between describe, for example:

  • 0.5 = time and half.

This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labour laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The existing CBR-LRI data points were supplemented with data points prior to 1970 or corresponding points in time for socialist countries (see coding rules). In addition, data points for a further 36 countries were added (see coding rules). The CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The supplemented data points were coded using statutory law, only. The combined data points result in the World of Labour Dataset (WoL) (for first version V1, 1970-2013 see Dingeldey et al. 2022).

Coding rules

The score is normalised on a 0-1 scale, with a normal premium is double time equivalent to a score of 1 (see Adams et al. 2023, Dingeldey et al. 2022). Statutory law is coded for the year in which it comes into force. Until the law was altered, the coding values were carried over for the ensuing years. As a result, the values between the years when the statutory legislation is in effect are an “estimate” of the legal standards/norms based on former law. A zero value indicates that there is no premium (see Adams et al. 2023, Dingeldey et al. 2022 for further information). A missing value (-999) means the law has not been coded for this country year for multiple reasons or in case of supplemented data points there is ‘no information available’. The coding template (algorithm) with the definition of the variable and instructions for the coding process is described in Adams et al. (2017, 2023) and Dingeldey et al. (2022, Online Supplement). As Adams et al. (2023) describe, the value of the variable "Weekend working" "Measures the normal premium for weekend working set by law or by collective agreements which are generally applicable. The same score is given for laws and for collective agreements which are de facto binding on most of the workforce (as in the case of systems which have extension legislation for collective agreements). The score equals 1 if the normal premium is double time, 0.5 if it is time and half, and 0 is there is no premium. Also score 1 if weekend working is strictly controlled or prohibited." (2023:17).
Dingeldey et al. (2022) describe the value of the variable "Weekend working" as the "Normal premium for weekend working set by law or by collec-tive agreements which are generally applicable; same score for laws and for collective agreements which are de facto binding on most of the workforce (as in the case of systems with exten-sion legislation for collective agreements); 1= premium is double time/weekend working is strictly controlled or prohibit-ed; 0.5= premium is time and half; 0= there is no premium" (2022, Online Supplement,https://academic.oup.com/iljarticle/51/3/560/6325574#supplementary-data).

Assessment of the scale level in Dingeldey et al. (2022) and Adams et al. (2017, 2023) and the description of the values in the template differ. As Adams et al. (2023) state “Some indicators use binary coding but most use non-binary or graduated scores. The template indicates the approach to scoring in each case. Some indicators are expressed as cardinal variables (for example, those relating to minimum qualifying periods of continuous employment) but most are expressed on an ordinal scale.” (p. 7) and Dingeldey et al. (2022) state “The nature of each indicator’s scale depended on the number of possible states that we could envisage for that variable; in the end, all indicators that we developed had either binary (true and false) or graduated scales, some of which, drawing on the CBR, were ordinal in nature, and some cardinal (in the case, for example, of certain working time standards).” (p. 582).
The scale level for WESIS was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI and supplemented data points in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained because all variables are coded on a 0-1 scale, with 1- and/or 2-digit decimal. Users should use the WESIS scale level with caution and consult the coding template (algorithm) and values.

There is a break in time series within countries (in most cases 1880 to 1969 and 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries) and limited comparability between countries [see 2] due to coverage of legal text during coding:

  • Variable values are based on statutory law, only for the period 1880-1969 (see WoL data points) [1880-1979/89 [see 1]] + 36 additional countries [see 2] for all time points available
  • Variable values are based on provisions of law, relevant court decisions or collective agreement (see CBR Leximetric Datasets, Deakin et al. 2023) for the period 1970-2022 [1980-2022 [see 3]]


  • [1] Applies to the following countries: Namibia, Zimbabwe.
  • [2] Applies to all countries not covered by CBR Leximetric Datasets (see Deakin et al 2023): Albania, Benin, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, El Salvador, Eritrea, Gambia, Guatemala, Guinea, Hong Kong, Haiti, Iraq, Jamaica, Kuwait, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Tajikistan, Togo, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan for all times points available.

  • [4] Important note: The (supplemented) data points of the variable are stored in extensive Excel tables, in which the corresponding sources, i.e. legal extracts and sources of these extracts, are also documented as the basis for the coded data points. A publication of the version: 0.002 Excel tables in GESIS is planned.
